So, I used the information from this thread, but I'm wondering if there is a way to add more columns. I'm wanting to have 3 columns for a list. If I tweak and rename the code, will it still work or do I have to find a different code to use?

Well, it would be similar to the to the two-column code.
I'd go to Mediawiki:Wikia.css and add:
.threeColumns {
-moz-column-count:3;
-webkit-column-count:3;
column-count:3;
}
Then it would do this:
<div class="threeColumns">
*test1
*test2
*test3
</div>
Okay, that's what I thought... That should work, but as I remember most MediaWiki wikis have a bug where the first item in the first column might have some unnecessary space at the top. Try it out... maybe the bug was fixed.
The bug is still there, but it's not noticable unless you are looking for it or have OCD. Other than that, it's working just like I wanted. The list I had worked fine with two columns and I may have to go back to that later on, but just knowing I can now use three columns if I wanted is a big help.
Ahh too bad the bug is still there, but if it doesn't bother you that much, then I guess that's okay.
I just didn't want have a huge, long list involved with one of the pages that required a great deal of scrolling. However, I may go back to the two-column list on the page, but as I said, just having the ability to use the three columns is great. Thanks for helping.
